Publisher's Synopsis
The Poems of Sir John Beaumont (1869) is a collection of poems written by Sir John Beaumont, a prominent English poet of the early 17th century. The book features a selection of Beaumont's most famous works, including his epic poem, The Crown of Thorns, as well as a number of sonnets and other shorter pieces.Beaumont was a contemporary of William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson, and his work is often compared to theirs in terms of its style and themes. Like many poets of his time, Beaumont drew heavily on classical mythology and history, as well as the Christian faith, for inspiration.The poems in this collection cover a wide range of topics, from love and romance to war and politics. Many of them are written in a highly formal and ornate style, with intricate rhyme schemes and complex metaphors.Despite his considerable talent, Beaumont is not as well-known today as some of his contemporaries. However, this collection provides a valuable glimpse into the work of a poet who was highly regarded in his own time and who made a significant contribution to the development of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
